In the August 23, 2016, Federal Register, AMS proposed to increase the assessment rate for Washington apricots from $.75 to $1.40 per ton for the 2016–17 and subsequent fiscal periods. The proposed rule would implement a recommendation from the Washington Apricot Marketing Committee, which is composed of growers and handlers who locally administer Marketing Agreement and Order No. 922 to regulate the handling of apricots grown in designated counties in Washington. Comments are due September 22, 2016.
